| Subject: | Introduction John Hauck |
Hi Folks:
My name is John Hauck. Have owned and flown with Rotax 912 (before the days of
the 912UL and ULS) beginning in 1992. Started out with a 912, then two 912ULS's.
Have accumulated a little over 3,000 hours on these engine during the past
22 years. I fly a 1992 Kolb MKIII. The first 220 hours on the airframe I
used a 582, that promptly seized in 1993. What a difference the 912 engines made
on the MKIII.
Hope to learn more about our engines here. Maybe I can pass along some of the
experiences I have had flying two and four stroke Rotax engines for the past 30
years.

Hi Folks:
I've been using iridium spark plugs in my 95 Nissan V6, Suzuki DRZ400E, and Honda
Ricon, for some time now with excellent results.
My questions to the Rotax Engine List are:
Has anyone experimented with NGK DCPR7EIX/DCPR8EIX spark plugs in the 912UL/912ULS
engines?
Anyone have any info from ROTAX reference use of iridium plugs?
I have never had any problems with DCPR7E/DCPR8E plugs in my 912UL/912ULS engines.
Thanks,
--------

The iridium's will work, but I don't know if you really get any more for your money.
They are almost triple the price.

Over the years we have gotten good results running the standard plug well past
the 100 and 200 hour limits for the 912ULS and 912UL. John Williamson went past
200 hours with his 912ULS. I've been flying these engines for a long time.
I always hate to change them because I can never see any increase in performance
with a new set of plugs. Back in the days of the 912, 1993, a DCPR7ES cost
about 9.00 each. Rotax was the only supplier. I contacted the US Distributor
for NGK to find another source, but there was none. There was nothing extraordinary
about the DCPR7ES, but ROTAX's price.
I think the iridium plugs will go much, much further. Eventually, Rotax will probably
start supplying them.
If I didn't have a fresh set of DCPR8ES plugs to install, I'd spring for a set
of iridium. My main concern was if they had the same rib pattern and screw off
nuts. From photos, looks like they have the ribs and specs indicate screw off
nuts. I'll have to wait another 100 hours to do some experimenting.
Surprised no one has not already tried them.
